Miro has been a significant influence on late 20th-century art, in particular the American abstract expressionist artists that include: Motherwell, Calder, Gorky, Pollock, Matta and Rothko, while his lyrical abstractions[66] and color field paintings were precursors of that style by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Olitski and Louis and others.[67] His work has also influenced modern designers, including Paul Rand[68] and Lucienne Day,[69][self-published source?] and influenced recent painters such as Julian Hatton. One of Man Ray's 1930s photographs, Miro with Rope, depicts the painter with an arranged rope pinned to a wall, and was published in the single-issue surrealist work Minotaure. In 2002, American percussionist/composer Bobby Previte released the album The 23 Constellations of Joan Miro on Tzadik Records. Inspired by Miro's Constellations series, Previte composed a series of short pieces (none longer than about 3 minutes) to parallel the small size of Miro's paintings. Privite's compositions for an ensemble of up to ten musicians was described by critics as "unconventionally light, ethereal, and dreamlike". Today, Miros paintings sell for between $250,000 and $26 million; $17 million at a U.S. auction for the La Caresse des Ãtoiles (1938) on 6 May 2008, at the time the highest amount paid for one of his works.[75] In 2012, Painting-Poem ("le corps de ma brune puisque je l'aime comme ma chatte habille en vert salade comme de la grale c'est pareil" (1925) was sold at Christie's London for $26.6 million.[76] Later that year at Sotheby's in London, Peinture (Etoile Bleue) (1927) brought nearly 23.6 million pounds with fees, more than twice what it had sold for at a Paris auction in 2007 and a record price for the artist at auction.[77][78] On 21 June 2017, the work Femme et Oiseaux (1940), one of his Constellations, sold at Sotheby's London for 24,571,250 GBP.[79]
